拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

The occasional minor scratch and frit. Mostly in very good condition. The teapot with two cracks to one side extending approx 2 1/2 in. from the rim, would benefit from restoration, also with a small chip to the tip of the spout and a chip to the red banding near this, some crazing mostly to the interior. Some light crazing to the teacup and coffeepot. The coffee pot with a small chip to the inner flange not visible when the cover is placed.

The condition of lots sold can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. The nature of the lots sold means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
